Hello James, The original spelling by Trovao (1979) is: Conus delanoyi, named after Mrs. Marie Wilhelmine de Lanoy Meijer (after the publication). In fact her name was even more complated (M.W. de Lanoy-Meijer de Geer) This name should be emendated to delanoyae, because the taxon is named after a woman. In a quick search trough the literature I couldn't find any official emendation; did you?
